What sort? American B.Aus.Orps or Australian ones? Had some confusion recently because what some Americans call B.A.Orps we call Langshans, and what we call B.A.Orps they call Langshans. :/ I think I will go with the Aussie definition there since the breed was developed in Australia, I'm Aussie, etc, just to make it simpler for myself, but I guess I'll have to ask this question about type every time this subject crops up.
The B.A.Orp influence is phenotypically strong in my remaining mongrels... Lost the best due to various issues... But I actively weeded out most due to leucosis. The B.A.Orps I got had slow and late onset leucosis and it was so hereditary that I culled quite aggressively to get rid of it, as much as some of those birds were otherwise decent or even family pets. Shame.
